December Begins, School Ends

I'm currently watching the anime Lupin the Third. I've been told that it's a horrible anime, but it's the only one I've ever watched. Back in my early high school days, I believe it was on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Yes, bad taste is apparently my nature, according to some people. I call it being eclectic.

Finals are upon me at school. I have finished my online class, ending with a C. That works. My fourth and last essay for English class is due tomorrow. As usual, I don't think I did very well. However, the lowest grade I have gotten for an essay is a 90%. Maybe I'll get lucky again.

My favorite cuisine, Mongolian bbq, used to be a rare thing for me, since there isn't a local restaurant that serves it. But a couple weeks ago I tried making it here at home, and it turned out quite well, so it's more of a regular thing now. Stir fry noodles, bell peppers, onions, oyster sauce, teriyaki sauce, baby corn, scallions, chicken... Yum. And easy to make.

Christmas is less than a month away. We haven't done anything yet, other than talk about what to get our little one. I guess our Christmas tree will only be up a few days right around the 25th since he'll likely be knocking it over repeatedly.

Yesterday was the last day of November and the first day of snow for around here. It was quite cold, but the snow was very minute, and it didn't stick. I don't mean to sound disappointed. Snow around here can be kinda treacherous, at least when it comes to travel. There's still plenty of winter for the accidents and panicked drivers to thrive.

That is all.

New Skool

My college days have finally begun. After 5 years of being out of high school. Today was my second day of "classes" and I have tomorrow off. The quotation marks are from my only Monday class, a psychology class, being Open Learning. Meaning, at my own pace, and only seeing the instructor to ask questions. Which, is kind of odd... Human Relations in the Workplace... not taken around people. Hmm.

My online class, medical terminology, seems to be the only one pertaining to what I'm actually going for. And it also happens to be the one I'm currently unprepared for because I didn't receive the textbook(s) needed. A problem that I hope to fix tomorrow.

I held my fear, skepticism, and pessimism at bay for as long as I could. About a day and a half. So now, I'm terrified that I'm not going to cut it. I wasn't expecting computers to be such a contributing factor. And I seem to feel more comfortable in the classrooms. For now, anyway. Maybe that'll change over time.

That's a partial explanation of the downside. The upside is, it's nice having more structure to my day. Get up, take child to the sitter, go to class. Leave, pick child up, go home, make supper, do homework. A couple days, I have about an hour and 45 minutes in between 2 classes. Today I went home for a quick lunch and checked my student account since it had just been activated, but in the future I may go to the gym or exercise room to pass the time. Something I've considered for my spare time since I registered. Take my ipod, get on a bike or stairmaster or treadmill... I wonder if they still make those NordicTrack ski things...

Ta.
